Wasn't a big fan. He was funny at first, then his schtik got old. Odd that they fired him now when the song was played March 21. Sounds like they either got back feedback from advertisers after it was being posted on youtube, or another reason (poor ratings!) made it a convenient excuse.

I was always bored with his humor. May of just been an age thing. I listen to preston and steve once in awhile and laugh a couple of times each time, but I can only remember one time I've laughed with kid chris.

Kid Chris sucked anyway.

Half of his material relies on making fun of wmmr.

Yeah. Hard to believe it took ~2 months before someone complained to WYSP. Sounds like someone heard about it afterwards (not on the show) and then decided to start a movement and raise a stink on principle.

I'm incredulous that station management claims not to know what was going on during the show. He was playing the song >2x per show in March/April and they're going to act like they had no idea?
